If there is a list devoted to ActiveRecord problems then I would appreciate 
a redirect.  In the absence of same I need some assistance with part of 
RoRs stack, namely ActiveRecord and the testing thereof.  I have a cli 
project which only uses AR-4.0 and whatever other stuff that gem pulls in. 
I am trialing the project witjh AR-4.1 and I am getting this error when I 
try to run my cucumber features:

      undefined method `assertions' for #<String:0x00000003ba4688>

`block in <top (required)>'

I googled for this and found a couple of tangential references relating to 
a change in minitest. However, the fix appears to be somewhat dated and in 
any case this is not a full RoR stack so rspec-rails is not applicable.

This problem is caused by a change in minitest 5.0 documented here: 
# https://github.com/seattlerb/minitest/issues/286 
is fixed by using: gem "rspec-rails", '~> 2.14.0.rc1'
in the gemfile.

Researching this further indicates that setting the version of minitest to 
~> 4.0 would fix the problem but alas, AR-4.1 requires minitest-5.1 +

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "minitest":
  In Gemfile:
    minitest (~> 4.0) ruby

    hll_th_cadex_xfer (>= 0) ruby depends on
      activerecord (>= 0) ruby depends on
        activesupport (= 4.1.4) ruby depends on
          minitest (5.1.0)

Which raises the question as to why, exactly, using an ORM gem demands that 
one install a particular testing framework that one may have no other use 
for.   I do not use Rspec either but Aruba pulls that in and, as Aruba is a 
testing framework, I have to accept that.  But an ORM?

In any case, is there a way around this?
